**Beavers Football QB Suspended for 5 Games**

The Oregon State Beavers football team faces a significant setback as starting quarterback Ryan Mitchell has been suspended for the first five games of the upcoming season. The suspension, announced by the university this morning, comes in response to a violation of team rules, though specifics of the infraction have not been disclosed.

Mitchell, who led the Beavers to a successful season last year, was expected to be a key player in the team’s push for a conference title. His absence is likely to impact the team’s offensive strategy, as he has been instrumental in their recent successes. The Beavers will have to rely on backup quarterbacks and possibly adjust their game plans to compensate for Mitchell’s absence.

Coach John Thompson expressed disappointment but emphasized the team’s focus on moving forward. “We support the decision made by the university and are committed to handling this situation with professionalism. Our focus now is on preparing our team for the season and ensuring we are ready to compete at the highest level,” Thompson said.

Mitchell has apologized for his actions, acknowledging the mistake and expressing regret over the situation. He has committed to working on personal development during his suspension and looks forward to rejoining his teammates later in the season.

The Beavers’ season opener is scheduled for September 14th, and the team will be looking to adjust quickly to fill the void left by Mitchell’s absence.
